Originally from Canada, I've been living in Japan for 35 years, most of that in Miyazaki. I speak the language and I know the area better than most locals. In Miyazaki, there is a lack of public transport so I'd be happy to drive you to places like Aoshima (a beautiful beach and surfing hub), Udo Jingu (a unique seaside shrine), the samurai and merchant residences of Obi, and introduce you to the best spots for local food, shopping, or nightlife. The volcanic highlands of Ebino and Kirishima are accessible from Miyazaki, as is Takachiho, the center of Japanese mythology with its famous gorge. I know them all well and I’d like to share that knowledge, the wonderful scenery, indeed the whole Miyazaki experience, with you.

Mikiko H.
Hi! I’m a licensed guide living in Kagoshima. Please call me Miki ! Now I’m working as a guide and an interpreter. And I have a certificate for medical interpreter. I love to meet new people. In my town Kagoshima, there are abundant nature and places where you can experience unique local culture. My favorite place is Mt. Sakurajima. It’s one of the best active volcanoes in the world. From observatories, you could feel its energy and, moreover if you are lucky, it will erupt in front of you! If you are interested in history of Japan, here is the right place to visit because..... oops, I’ll tell you the story when we meet!! I’m very flexible and cheerful. And I’m very happy to arrange a tour for you and customize it according to your request!! So please leave your message to me and feel free to ask me if you have any questions or specific requests before you come. I’m looking forward to seeing you here Kagoshima!! Can’t wait!! Miki

Miyazaki Tour Reviews

“Fantastic guide for Miyazaki!”
We engaged Michael for the Miyazaki–Kumamoto leg of our tour. Michael is not only knowledgeable about Miyazaki, but also has a wealth of knowledge about Japan as a whole. He shared fascinating insights into Japanese history, myths and culture, and was always happy to answer the many questions I had along the way. With Michael, you're not simply engaging a guide to take you to the places you want to visit. You're also getting someone who brings those places to life through his knowledge and unique perspectives. This in turn makes the tour much more memorable. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a guide in Miyazaki!

I really welcome questions about my adopted home, Wei (sorry for misspelling your name in my other reply), so I was more than happy to engage you. And thank you too for being so good-natured during our two days together, it made my work feel very comfortable. I hope you’ll see fit to visit Miyazaki yet again someday.

“Amazing drive to Miyazaki!”
Michael was our guide for a customised family tour from Beppu to Miyazaki. Although this isn't a typical tourist route, Michael was incredibly flexible and accommodating of our requests. The drive from Beppu to Takachiho was certainly a challenging one, but Michael was more than up to it, ensuring that we managed to cover all our planned stops comfortably. Beyond being an excellent driver and guide, Michael also recommended some fantastic lunch spots and shared valuable tips for our self-guided tour the following day. His local knowledge and willingness to go the extra mile really made a difference to our trip. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend Michael to anyone visiting Miyazaki!

Thanks so much Wie. The drive was certainly a tough one but kudos to you and your family for braving it well. And especially thank you for the good conversation that accompanied our time together. It made my job so much easier.

“What an awesome experience!”
My fiance and I booked this trip and a full day trip with Michael during our time in Miyazaki. Michael was very fun to talk to throughout both tours. The places he took us to showed us a side of Japan that we didn’t know existed. Michael was also very knowledgeable in the history and facts about said places. He was also very accommodating with changing our start time to an earlier time. We’re typically not the type to book guided tours but we throughly enjoyed these tours that Michael curated.

I really enjoyed the company of you and Alexys during these two days, Kristeen. In fact, I'd say that you were the type of model guests who make my job very pleasurable with your excellent manners and pleasant conversation. I hope your entire trip to Japan went well and that your new life back in Canada goes even better!
